Spontanious Happieness by Weil.



I just started DRACULAS which is by 4 authors: F. Paul Wilson, Jeff Strand, Blake Crouch and Jack Kilborn. I have high hopes for it!





I started We Need to Talk About Kevinwhich, so far, is chilling.





Amazon $2.99

Hooked is the perfect title for this latest in author Polly Iyer's romantic suspense novels. Every character in this book has a duality of purpose born of inclination and sometimes greed. And this is the authors challenge, asking the reader to understand, and maybe empathize, with people whose behavior is frequently on the other side of the law.
Benny Cooper, late of wall-street fame and married father of two, has the perfect job; hooked on the glamour of sex, he rents out apartments to beautiful young women, accepts a simple fee for the contracted liaison, and in Benny's mind he's not a pimp, he's simply a business man who gets to sample the wares. But Benny's perfect life comes apart when a young dead prostitute is connected to his high-class establishment and the NYPD sends Lincoln Walsh, sex crimes detective, to get to the bottom of it.
Enter Tawny Dell, recently retired and financially independent call girl who takes her secrets and off-shore accounts to an idyllic beach, that is until Lincoln Walsh hooks her with threats of jail for tax evasion unless she helps him find a killer.
That there's an instant attraction between the two is expected, but as the story unfolds we get to glimpse into the complex nature of these two people, and though we root for them, it's not until the end that we get to see if their attraction can be sustained in the duality of their life choices.
Add a dying mob boss, whose legacy of a legitimate family construction business is about to crumble because one of his own becomes part of the investigation, and last but not least, a stalwart and trusted father figure to Linc whose own agenda will threaten Tawny life.
Romance, suspense, humor, tragedy, and yes justice, gives a satisfying end to the book. This author could easily be compared to the likes of Catherine Coulter, but I believe Polly Iyer will soon be America's most popular romantic suspense writer.

Now I'm starting a historical mystery,
